Details

Asian Capitalism and the Regulation of Competition explores the implications of Asian forms of capitalism and their regulation of competition for the emerging global competition law regime. Expert contributors from a variety of backgrounds explore the topic through the lenses of formal law, soft law and transnational regulation, and make extensive comparisons with Euro-American and global models. Case studies include Japan, China and Vietnam, and thematic studies include examinations of competition law's relationship with other regulatory terrains such as public law, market culture, regulatory geography and transnational production networks.

• Provides a comprehensive account of the key social, political, economic and geographical features which affect competition and its regulation

• Expands on the existing literature by incorporating regulatory experiences of non-Anglo-European regions

• Explores parallels in Anglo-European capitalism and anticipates possible future evolutions in 'global competition law'
